I get the rebuilding logic, but I can't sign on for tanking a season after two weeks. That goes against the spirit of competition and completely alienates the fans.

Yes, they could have acheived .500. They have a good defense and play a pretty sub par schedule. Now we seem to be actively trying to lose, so 2-14 is pretty obtainable.

You build around Trent, not trade him away...I could see if they'd get a top ten, but its a late rd pick for a franchise type player...I wold am or my money back as a season ticket holder.

different sport, different opinion on management/ownership, huh?
How many more wins would the Browns have this year if they kept Richardson instead of plugging in whatever guy? How many more wins would the Browns have next year with Richardson instead of whoever replaces him plus the extra first round pick they will have next year?
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?

It's not an extra first round pick though, because now they also need a RB. It is an extra 3rd round pick though.

Ok, let me be more clear. Someone will line up at running back, unless as part of the trade the Browns agreed to play offense with 10 players. They aren't spending a draft pick for whoever that is. It might be someone already on the roster. It might be someone who is a free agent.
How many more wins would they have won with Richardson than whomever they line up at running back this year?
Next year, they will draft a running back or two, but certainly NOT in the first round. They will package the two 1's for a higher pick to get the QB they want. Or grab a QB and a CB or WR. How many more wins would they have won with Richardson instead of that second first round pick plus the RB they will pick in the 3rd or 4th round?
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?
